My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thank you, thank you !!!... Want this color and look exactly and putting it indoors.. Cannot wait.. hope being inside will give me a longer chance of retention on my coloring.. and love the fact that it DOEs darken it some.. like the contrast and variation of the colorings even more from the dark being in there.. PERFECT for me and SO WELL DONE!! Closest thing to Natural Looking .... TImeless.!!

      I have only used a clear, water-based UV product on barnwood to keep the colors from fading over time. This darkens the wood slightly but makes for a longer contrast.

      What is the exact name of the clear sealant you use? Thank you.

      I do not recall the exact product but there are lots out there.

      Any idea how often you need to spray the UV coating to keep this color? Thanks!

      We only spray this once or twice and the wood develops a deeper and richer shade of brown. Not sure the coating makes any difference in the aged patina.
